Tetris to Minecraft

The best selling video game of all time was Tetris until Minecraft came along. It’s difficult to guess what the next big game will be, but I hope it will follow a similar vein.

Both games didn’t rely on gimmicks, shock value or ridiculous marketing.

They’re very low graphic games that rely on creativity, critical thinking and spatial reasoning. Minecraft elevates this further with imagination—the more you have, the more you can do.

These games are proof of one thing:

People want substance in what they do.

Even in our “mindless” entertainment.
